SHOE CLEANER.

Application filed June 23, 1922. Serial No. 570,324.

To all when 2'6 may concern: 7

Be it known that I, WARD G. CALLENDER, a resident of Mansfield, in the county of Richland and State of Ohio, a citizen of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe Cleaners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in shoe cleaners and the important objects of 10 my invention are the production of a shoe cleaner made from sheet metal to permit the stamping of the parts constituting the devicefrom a single blank of metal; to produce a device which will simultaneously clean the sole and brush the upper of the shoe; which will be of small and compact size and of attractive appearance; which can 7 be produced cheaply and generally combines the requisites to produce an eflicient and practical article of this character.

To attain thedesired objects, the invention consists of a shoe cleaner made from a single piece of sheet metal to provide an attaching base, a vertical sole scraping blade, and a pair ot'brush holders to receive and dispose the brushes contiguous to said sole scraping blade.

The invention further consists of a shoe cleaner embodying novel detailsof construction and combination of parts, substantially as shown, described and claimed herein.

In the drawings:

Figures 1, 2, and 3 represent perspective views of a shoe-cleaner embodying my in vention, the four forms showing modified constructions of my invention.

In all the forms of my invention the shoe cleaner is made from a sheet or blank of thin, stiff metal, as this permits the production of a light, durable and cheap article and in all forms of my shoe cleaner is provided a flat attaching base A, a struck up,

vertical portion forming a sole scraping blade B, and at each side of the base a brush socket or holder C, which forms sears for the lower free ends D of the brush heads E, carrying the brushes F.

In all forms the sole scraping blade is disposed in a vertical plane and between the brush holders and the construction produces asimple, cheap, and practical article of this character.

I claim As a new article of manufacture, a shoe cleaner consisting of a flat attaching base, a

shape.

In testimony whereof I hereunto amx my signature.

WARD G. CALLENDER.
